ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582 Malaysia Price and Specifications
Seen earlier at CES 2021, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582 has two variants available in Malaysia that are otherwise similar save for what processor they pack with either a 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10980HK or a more affordable Intel Core i7-10870H processor.
The most distinctive aspect of the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582’s design is a large secondary 14-inch UHD touchscreen at the base that doubles as a second screen or as an enhanced control panel for apps or simply as a space to park more open tabs for some serious multitasking.
This is accompanied by the large 15.6-inch OLED 4K touchscreen that has 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage support, is Pantone validated and has a 93% screen-to-body ratio. While prior versions used LCD panels, the addition of an OLED panel adds richer, lusher colour rendition and brightness which makes it all the more desirable for content creators who require colour accuracy when doing their work.
In terms of storage, it ships with 32GB DDR4 RAM, a 1TB NVME PCIe 3.0 SSD and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 mobile GPU with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. In the off-chance you need to live stream or do a video call, it has an IR webcam which has Windows Hello for biometric unlocks.
It’s also amply equipped with ports with a pair of Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, a HDMI 2.1 port and a single USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A port. A bundled stylus also helps content creators get their creative groove on for doodling and artistic endeavours.
In Malaysia, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582 will retail for RM12,999 for the i7 version and RM15,999 for the i9 version from 7th June 2021 onwards at all ASUS authorised dealers and official stores. For more details check out their official page here.
